About Me
Since picking up the trumpet in fourth grade, I've had my heart set on a career involving noises. After graduating from a small high school in Massachusetts, I knew bigger plans were waiting for me on the bustling west coast. In 2020, I chose to attend Chapman University in Orange, CA for a degree in Music Performance. By the end of my second year, I had switched my degree to Music Technology and worked to become Head Recording Engineer of the conservatory.
As I approach graduation, I've launched a career as a technical sound designer and foley artist. My background in percussion gives me an advantage as a foley artist, and my degree in technology allows me to navigate audio middleware and DAWs with ease. Additionally, while creating content for fun, I've earned millions of views and sponsorship from several companies that I love dearly. It has also led to contracts by voice actors, soundtrack composers, and directors from prestigious film schools in Los Angeles and Orange County.
